Oops, not used to Google groups yet... Ment to say:
If I were at home I'd be playing around to my heart's content with
whatever I fancied doing I wouldn't be nearly so bothered, in this
case I need to get something done for a customer in a couple of
weeks.

Wow, I wasn't expecting this many replies!
Thanks guys!
To give you a little more background, I've just changed from Java
Swing development to PHP. The first thing I had to do in PHP was set
up Eclipse and get proper debugging working (I'm planning to look at
Komodo and the rest soon). Stepping
The best advice I could give you under the circumstances you mentioned
(time constraints), is to not use Cake (initially).
Get the project out using whatever methods you usually employ.
Once its out and you have some breathing space, you could use it as a
learning project and re-write it using
Adding my 2 cents:
1. start with the blog toturial; USING THE SAME CAKE VERSION that is
used in it
2. read the manual (manual.cakephp.org), its more of a quickguide in
any case
2.b Make sure you understand the concept, if not the implementation of
model associations. Model associations is DA
I've been playing around with CakePHP for a little over 24 hours in
total now and I've just given up on the IBM Cook up Web sites fast
tutorial; it was hopelessly buggy and inconsistent. I don't want to
rant, and obviously some parts are out of date, but for this tutorial
to be one of the
Hi Ben
I think the very first step is to follow the 15 min Cake Blog Tutorial
http://manual.cakephp.org/appendix/blog_tutorial
It allows you to setup a cake install, and build a very simple blog
engine with it, thus demonstrating Cake's basic concepts.
Once you're done with it, check out the

I think the most efficient way is to pick a project that interests
you, keep the manual handy and start developing. If it interests you,
you'll stick with it.

David above identified the method that worked for me.
Liberal echo pr($variable) in the models/controller/views was
invaluable to me to work out what was getting passed by who and to
where.
Using Bake to build your scaffolding. You can learn an awful lot by
looking at the baked code.

Good question! The answers will show you that the manual and the
tutorial for version 1.2 are not finished yet.
My (current) way to learn cake is to set up and expand a very small
projekt. Each question witch came up I post here (after searching if
it wasnt already answerd). I think this is for
Trial and error!
It's a bit difficult at the beginning, and everything is confusing,
but once you get it, as RichardAtHome said, skyrocket! :-) As an
example, I'm messing with Cake for a short while now, and I've decided
to create a private mini cms for myself and learn Cake while doing
that. My
I recommend that, first off, you have these prerequisites:
* Solid PHP skills, including a basic understanding of using OOP
(object-oriented programming) in PHP
* MySQL skills
* A basic understanding of what an MVC framework is
With that foundation, I recommend that you begin with, in the
Read through the manual for a general understanding.
For actual coding examples (the few that are there) go to the tempdocs.
Baking helped me a lot! If you're not sure what baking is, it's the process
by which you have cake create the files for the project based on only the
database definition.
I can't be alone in
wondering what the most efficient way to get into CakePHP is.
Good guides seem to be the main thing missing from CakePHP - there are
plenty of tips about how to do one or two specific things at a time,
but not much in the way of a beginner's guide that gives you a good
Thougt to set up a wiki.
What do you think?
